To foster dialogue among PhD students in music therapy within Europe, Viennese PhD students are excited to organise and host a day of meeting, exchanging, and learning from each other at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) just before the start of EMTC2016. It will be interesting to hear about all the different topics and approaches of current doctoral research across Europe.

Participants are invited to present and discuss their doctoral research in oral presentations (20 min talk + 10 min discussion).

(It is also possible to participate in the seminar without actively presenting.)
